Rosacea Tips

Rosacea (pronounced roz-a-sha) is a skin condition without a cure but able to be controlled and improved dramatically.

The most noticeable feature of Rosacea is a red face particularly in the t-zone. Broken capillairies known also as surface veins or spider veins are common to sufferers. Another curse can be pimples, cysts or acne. This acne is different to the type common in young people.

For dramatic improvement in redness, veins and blemishes follow these tips:

IPPL (Intense pulse Laser Light) is an excellent way to remove redness and veins when performed by a competent practioner (ask Doctor about Medicare Rebate)

Exfoliate very regularly either with creams containing particles or micro-dermabrasion or hydro-dermabrasion. (rosacea causes extra thick layers of dead cells which lead to blockages and pimples)

Protect your face from the sun using either mineral makeup for females or sunscreen if tolerated

Rosacea can have a damaging effect on self-esteem and confidence in men and women. For women it is easy to cover the face. Mineral makeup is the best development for this. A small amount of mineral powder which takes a minute to apply is pure magic.

I have had Rosacea for nearly 20 years and suffered the embarrassment of redness and blemishes for at least 15 years. A wonderful new MiSMo client at the time, a doctor, changed my life 5 years ago.
